Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace

描述(由申请人提供)：新英格兰工作场所健康促进中心(CPH-NEW)实施和评估多种将健康促进与职业健康干预相结合的模式，重点关注肌肉骨骼、心血管和精神健康结果；工作组织的基本作用；以及工人参与计划设计和实施的重要性。该中心是由马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学(工作环境、社区健康、护理)和康涅狄格大学(职业与环境医学、职业健康心理学、联合健康)与众多私营和公共部门合作伙伴共同发起的。这一续签申请反映了该中心在最初5年中的重大发展，特别是在实现综合系统方法的过程方面。行政核心的特点是继续现有的指导委员会和跨项目方法小组，扩大外部咨询委员会，增加新的研究和研究-实践(R2P)小组委员会，每半年召开一次全体人员会议，开展一些外联活动(特别是针对卫生和安全专业人员)，以及跨项目评价。这两个ROI研究项目都将扩展1-5年的参与式设计团队方法，以涉及上层管理和组织结构。每个队列中的社会流行病学分析检查工作场所和非职业健康风险之间的相互作用。这些研究项目在统计、经济建模、定量暴露评估、健康促进和定性研究方面分享方法和研究人员。与该中心的总体目标一致，传播项目强调与雇主的接触，提供教育、培训和工具，以促进评估工作压力，并采用综合健康保护/健康促进战略，以改善劳动力健康。我们将进一步传播我们最近开发的R2P工具包，并开发新的工具，以回应外部合作伙伴表达的需求。其中包括当前的项目工地、商会、工作场所健康和安全委员会以及弥撒的参与者。公共卫生部的“致力于健康”计划。 相关性(见说明)：CPH--通过确定工作场所文化与个人高危行为之间的联系，以及对所设计的工作场所干预措施的有效性的审查，继续制定综合和全面的方法，以减少劳动力危险和促进工人健康。关键的翻译和有效性研究目标导致有针对性的方法和可利用的评估工具，包括多层面的生产力/商业案例方法。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW) implements and evaluates multiple models for integrating health promotion with occupational health interventions, with a strong emphasis on musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and mental health outcomes; the underlying role of work organization; and the importance of worker involvement in program design and implementation. The Center is a joint initiative of the University of Massachusetts Lowell (Work Environment, Community Health, Nursing) and the University of Connecticut (Occupational & Environmental Medicine, Occupational Health Psychology, Allied Health), with numerous private and public sector partners. This renewal application reflects a substantial evolution of the Center from its first 5 years, in particular toward processes for achieving an integrated systems approach. The Administrative Core features continuation of the current Steering Committee and Cross-Project Methods Teams, expanded External Advisory Committee with new research and research-to-practice (R2P) sub-committees, semi-annual all-personnel meetings, some outreach activities (especially to health and safety professionals), and cross-project evaluation. Both ROI research projects will expand the participatory design team approach of Years 1-5 to involve upper-level management and organizational structures. Social epidemiologic analyses within each cohort examine the interaction of workplace and non-occupational health risks. The research projects share methods and investigators in statistics, economic modeling, quantitative exposure assessment, health promotion, and qualitative research. In concert with the Center's overall goal, the dissemination project emphasizes outreach to employers, providing education, training, and tools to facilitate assessment of job stress and adoption of integrated health protection/health promotion strategies for improving workforce health. We will further disseminate our recently developed R2P Toolkit and develop new tools in response to needs expressed by external partners. These include current project worksites, Chambers of Commerce, workplace health and safety committees, and participants in the Mass. Dept of Public Health 'Working on Wellness' program. RELEVANCE (See Instructions): CPH-NEW features continued development of an integrative and comprehensive approach to reduce workforce hazards and promote worker health, through its identification of the links between workplace culture and personal high-risk behaviors and its examination of effectiveness of designed workplace interventions. Key translational and effectiveness research goals lead to targeted methods and accessible assessment instruments including a multi-dimensional productivity/business case approach.
